Thanks Daniel.

I have looked at the link. It will require me to create a new environment
which I was hoping to avoid.

I have tried and can create the new environment successfully, however, it
looks ugly with all the ERT I have to use.

Perhaps, I can create the new environment in a local layout. I have written
a local layout for an itemized list before.
How would it differ from a description list?

I have attached a file below which contains my local layout.


Warm Regards,
Anthony
